Aaron Straup Cope | Keynote Speech FACT Symposium


I was delighted to watch this Keynote address from my former colleague and long time pal, Aaron Straup Cope. In it he makes a number of nice references to the projects we worked on together and the things I worked on after he and Seb Chan left the team at Cooper Hewitt.

It’s been 15 years since and I’m amazed at how the work is still talked about across the sector. I’m really proud of that work and reflecting these days, I’m glad we did the things we did and in the way we did them, even when they wound up looking like “expensive mistakes.”

This talk is worth your time if you care about cultural heritage, museums, and the internet. It’s especially relevant today as we are continually asked to bear witness to the possible undoing of hundreds of years of American democracy!

it's not magic – finding our way back to 'just f*cking do it' from 'move fast and break things'

I was in high school when they first said that computers could teach kids - at least, for arithmetic drill. In the 50 years since, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were really sure that computers would transform education.

Nope.

Notice that the lords of AI are NOT claiming they can replace that job? No fewer elementary school teachers?

It's because that's one area of human work where the KNOW they will fail. Again.

We see Mr. Spok from "Star Trek" at his screen, he is sitting on his turnable office chair. Holding on to his buttons still, he is turning around, presumably to speak to the captain. The caption quotes him "We are receiving posts from decentralised social media... apparently, some part of the civilization survived." On the screen is a very small QR-code.

Most responses here have already covered the reasons why or why it's not ready. The Steam Deck is the closest to plug & play, while most don't even realize it runs a Linux OS. So, I guess that's a good start. But once something does rear its ugly head, that's where the "average" consumer wouldn't know why something doesn't work, while others, like me, whom have used Linux to play games, have the ability to troubleshoot issues that arise. It's not ready yet. Getting close though.

what a cover
the front cover of the 1984 book "Artificial Intelligence in BASIC" by Mike James. It depicts a three dimensional egg whose surface appears to be made of curved circuit board, with visible copper traces and green solder-mask. From approximately the egg's center of mass emanates a bright starburst-like flash

Small businesses are considered the backbone of the U.S. economy.

They account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses and employ nearly half of the American workforce.

Small businesses generate 44% of U.S. economic activity and have created two-thirds of all new jobs in recent decades.

man this driving test is so easy
Question Nine You are approaching an intersection with a set of traffic lights. The lights are red. You want to turn right. What do you need to do? Select all that apply. ☐ Begin indicating right approximately ten seconds before reaching the intersection ☒ Begin indicating left approximately two seconds before reaching the intersection, then panic (despite no present danger) and fumble the indicator into the reset position, then indicate right ☒ Begin braking, then stop braking and engage the clutch (you have not yet internalised the concept of braking while engaging the clutch), take five seconds to shift into second, then brake hard (you only have a few metres of stopping distance remaining) ☐ Gently brake and shift into a lower gear ☒ Brake way too hard and do not engage the clutch, stalling the car ☒ Check your rear-view mirror to decide whether or not you should be nervous about the number of cars behind you (everyone else on the road is judging you constantly)
Question Twenty-Four You are approaching a stop sign. How hard should you brake? A) ☐ Way too much B) ☐ Way too little C) ☐ The correct amount D) ☒ B, followed by panicking, followed by A
